17b Rutherford Street, Otumoetai, Tauranga, Bay of Plenty

In a quiet cul de sac street in ever popular and highly sought after Pillans Point, this brick and tile home has been extensively renovated, double glazed and modernised with a creative touch, retaining all the best 1980s era features while being infused with a subtle yet distinct ‘Scandi’ flavour.

The eye-catching emerald green front door sets the tone beautifully, reflecting the large council reserve and playground adjacent to this immaculately presented property: all that expanse of lawn to be enjoyed maintenance free! Neutral whites and soft greys with a pitched raked timber ceiling link the sleek modern kitchen and open plan dining and living with a warm, inviting sunroom opening out to a wrap around deck basking in sunshine.

Skylights, internal windows and light tubes thoughtfully placed allow natural light to brighten the stylishly appointed family bathroom and the long hallway connecting two double bedrooms and luxurious master with fabulous accent wallpaper, opening through large sliders to the aforementioned deck. A second bathroom, single garage with laundry, built in cabinetry and an abundance of coordinated storage continue the theme of simple yet elegant finishings delivered with meticulous attention to detail. This continues outside to the covered carport through to private established gardens abundantly planted with oranges, lemons, limes and clementines among a tropical mix, bringing front of mind either a nursery rhyme or thoughts of a G & T while relaxing on the deck.

Pillans Point is a location popular with families with its excellent local school and community, proximity to a variety of shopping and amenities, with ready access to the CBD, Mount Maunganui and arterial routes. For young professionals, somewhere tranquil to downsize, or as a low maintenance investment, this is a must see property. All the hard work has been done, this home is move in ready!
